Augrented Insights Report for 345 East 56th Street

The 21-story, 174-unit building at 345 East 56th Street, constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Melissa Cafiero, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with pests, including documented violations for mice infestation in Apartment 4B (2023) and multiple pest-related complaints in 2023-2024. The building has also faced several safety concerns, with open violations as of 2023-2024 regarding missing or defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartments 15B and 6J, respectively.

Infrastructure and system issues have been persistent, including multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2022-2023, plumbing problems, and inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures in Apartments 9C and 12C (2023). The building has undergone various inspections and received multiple violations related to safety equipment, including a 2023 violation regarding a defective self-closing door in Apartment 2B. The property has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing no infestation cases from 2018 through 2025.

Recent rodent inspections show a mix of results, with the most recent inspection in January 2025 passing, though several previous inspections in 2022-2023 noted issues with rat activity. The building's management has addressed various complaints and violations, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances for repair work between 2018-2021. While some violations have been resolved, there remain open matters requiring attention, particularly regarding fire safety systems and building code compliance. The property has complied with energy efficiency reporting requirements, with violations from 2019-2022 being dismissed after the necessary reports were submitted.
